First of all: I apologize for the problems. I’ll try to become a delegate again. Hopefully the community support my work and still trust me.

Many guys contacted me and said that they’re really sorry for me. They would vote again for me and some guys offered me their help. Mistakes happen and I’m responsible for this one. I’ve thought about running a delegate again for many hours. My decision is that I want to try it again and get the trust back from the community and my loyal voters. I want to contribute to the ARK Ecosystem and help as best as I can.

For the guys that doesn’t know what happened I’ll explain it:

I did a big mistake and stored at the beginning of my delegate career a file on my private cloud with the keys of the delegate. After one night I noticed that this wasn’t the best idea and I removed the file. The problem was: The cloud didn’t deleted the file completely and moved it into the trash folder. To completely delete the file you’d need to delete it again from the trash folder. Unfortunately someone got access on my private cloud and had access to my keys. He payed out some of the ARKs on the wallet to his new generated wallet and created the second signature. That was my second mistake that wasn’t really heavy because he already had access to my wallet. With the second signature created earlier I’d have access to the ARK in the wallet but he could make the delegate double forge and that would force me also to turn down the servers. After I recognized that my wallet is under control of someone else I decided to turn off my servers to not give him more ARKs. I tried to inform everyone through slack and reddit. My covered coins were safe because they’re all stored on a ledger nano s.

To clarify: My servers were completely safe and the attacker never had any access to them.

What I’ve learned:

Never save any important infos on any cloud or even local. If you have to save them there be sure to encrypt them. I’ll write down the wallet passphrase on multiple papers at home and will store them safely in a safe.
